Fineman also reflected while speaking to THR, 'Seven years is kind of like the classic way [at SNL], and then right as my contract was up, this amazing David E. Kelley opportunity came in, like completely out of the blue.

The opportunity she referred to is the upcoming Netflix drama Myron Molitar, which she will begin filming this week.
